Central Carolina Community College’s Sustainable Agriculture program provides training in organic farming methods that benefit the grower, consumer, and the land. The program, located at the Chatham County Campus, recently received a $10,000 grant from the Arthur Carlsen Charitable Fund of the Triangle Community Foundation. It will fund work-study scholarships for students at the on-campus organic farm or area farms as well as need-based academic scholarships for Sustainable Agriculture associate degree students. Weeding the crops in the land lab hoophouse are (from left) Michael Slaton, of Snow Camp, community supported agriculture manager; Hilary Heckler, of Pittsboro, land lab manager; and student Mary Beth Bardin, of Moncure.
